First off I don't blame you for feeling that way cuz it SUCKSSSSSSSSSS ! BUT, the glaciers ARE melting which means temps have to be rising on an AVERAGE, so Global Warming HAS to be taking place, it only makes sense. But an AVERAGE temperature rise by a few degrees doesn't necessarily mean we're gonna have NO or warmer winters. The effect it's going to have is in how it AFFECTS the weather patterns we see, and how long and strong the storm systems are...the prediction is that they will be worse, which is kind of what we're seeing this winter.

That’s why you hear climate change now instead of global warming. Every continent goes through cyclical changes in temperature, the poles are no different. The way the plates shift they say north America will be a winter wonderland in 13,000 years. All this climate change crap is the biggest hoax that has ever been pulled on the world. This cap and trade bill is designed to pry your hard earned money out of your pockets. a lot of people think that the tax is going to come from big companies, wrong, it’s just like in the late 80’s when the government levied huge taxes on the evil tobacco companies for the good of the consuming public. All that happened was that the manufactures raised the price on cigarettes to offset the tax burden forced on them and the little people ended up doling out the money. Its going the be the same thing with the cap and trade, the manufactures will turn the increased cost of production around on the little man and still keep their profits. With all the lies that are being uncovered about global warming and the research being done, I can’t believe that anyone still takes gore seriously. Why do people think he won’t openly debate his beliefs. Since when has it become normal to trust the government. Happy New Year!!!

Rick, the question isn't really if warming has occurred, it's whether you or I pumping carbon in the atmosphere has anything to do with it, or if the warming is an anomaly that must be human induced. Glaciers have been melting for 13000 years.  Where I sit today was under 2000 feet of ice 10,000 years ago. The fools at the UN, mr Gore, the CRU, told us that as carbon rises, the temperature will rise.  10 years later, we can see this.

Goes up during the winter months and goes down during the summer months due to the process of photosynthesis. Yeah humans add to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, but the amount in the last 180 years it had gone up is 103 ppm. And who is to say that has nothing to do with natural phenomenon, or cyclical? Before we start shouting that the sky is falling, there needs to be more study and open forums on both sides of this issue. I for one think that we are getting the wool pulled over our eyes to line the pockets of power hungry environmentalist wack jobs. Most Global Warming reports make it sound like most of the atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide. In fact, it is only 0.03% (and seasonally variable). Actually, water vapor (another Green House gas) forms a larger percentage (0 to 4%) and completely swamps the effect of CO2 (except when it is very cold and/or very dry). artic website crysophere today reported that artic ice volume was 500,000 sq km greater than this time last year. Additionally, Antartic sea ice this year reached its highest level since satellite records began in 1979. Polar bear numbers are also at record levels. 81GL 500 When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. Hunter S. Thompson    Report

" Right George, but I think the "Global Warming" issue is indicative of a larger problem. Anyone who was schooled in this country after the 1960s possibly got a liberal biased education. Someone subjected to the subconcious propaganda of the left is less cabable of independent thought or rational non-subjective analysis. When Al Gore says, "The debate is over," when it clearly is not, he destroys his own credibility (as if he ever had any.) For decades, we older folks had to watch ABC, NBC, and CBS for all of our news and just in the last 10 or 15 years have we had the fresh perspective of a fair and balanced news organization. That, along with the rise of talk radio, gives the rest of us conservatives hope that eventually you who are younger will begin to see issues and events with a more open mind.

The ice cores in Antarctica show without any shadow of a doubt that the CO2 levels of this planet operate in a very cyclic way, and have been for the past 200+ thousand years. The fact of the matter is, if the planet were warming up in a 'Global Warming' trend (which incidentally, is known now as 'global climate change' aka 'we were wrong and are too stupid to admit our own cluelessness') there is NO reason we would have a colder than usual winter here.   The amount of energy input that would be required to change the average temperature of the earth even 1 degree C would surely show an average rise in oceanic temperatures, which regulate most of the weather on this little peninsula I live on. Truth be told, we're overdue for another ICE age.   Go look at the ice core records - it's all in there. 1978 CX500 motor + 1980 CX500C frame    Report

Given that the overall average temperature of the Earth has been increasing for some time now (although it still isn't as hot as it was in the '30s) and that all of these supposedly intelligent people believe that the temperature increase is caused by activities of mankind, how much pollution must we be producing to cause the temperatures on Mars to rise & fall in synch with temperatures here? It's solar activity, folks. The temperatures here (& on Mars) rise in years of higher solar activity and fall in years of lower solar activity. I've said it before: Pollution is bad and we should do what we can to make less of a mess in our nest. But don't lie about the causes of climate change to scare us into doing something about pollution. Oh, and as for the polar bears and the glaciers: We are nearing the end of long period of cold. 5,000 years ago the Sahara bloomed and there were lions & hippos in England. Sea levels were not significantly higher than they are now. Then the world became colder and a substantial amount of the available fresh water was trapped in glaciers so large areas became desert. The world is returning to normal. Glaciers are melting. Sea levels are not rising, but in a few hundred years there will be enough arable land to feed the world. The polar bear population will either shrink to fit the remaining habitat (like the loin & hippo populations did when it got colder) or they will go the way of the dodo. Either way, it will be the result of natural processes. Mr. Honda ('83 GL1000/Dnepr) summer The Famous Eccles ('84 GX650EI/Velorex700) winter WHY I HAVEN"T BEEN AROUND MUCH LATELY    Report

The best analogy I can come up with is this: Maybe you have a relative quite a few years ago that had a refrigerator that didn't use electricity. Instead they had a icebox in the refrigerator that would take a cube of ice that the iceman would deliver. The point is what kept the food cool was the ice as it melted. What is currently keeping the planet from becoming a lot hotter is all the ice melting from the poles and glaciers. Because the ocean currents and the sun contribute to the distribution of the cooler water, this is why we are experiencing the weather that we are going through. You don't believe in global warming?

All the money pouring into these “scientists” research funds keep them employed.  Do you think that the findings they might come up with might just keep the paychecks coming? Bottom line is, the government is trying to grab control of every aspect of our lives. They believe that we are too stupid to take care of ourselves and need big brother to swoop in and make everything better. When has the government made anything better? Unless if you count ww1 & 2 when we as a country actually had nuts and made a difference to the well being of our citizens and the world. Now it seems that politicians and government seem to think we are here to serve the big machine and grease its wheels instead of serving the people who actually make this country great, the people. These people are not royalty. They were elected to serve us! There is absolutely no proof that we are affecting the climate. I mean, didn’t the research’s unit at   East Anglia  shredding research documents and data tip you off that something is rotten. Like I said before, since when has it become the norm to trust the government. just because people think that no one would try to pull a hoax like this, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t. there are people with agendas out there that want only one thing, power. What better way to do that than make a whole lot of people dependant on you to decide what light bulb you can buy, what food you can eat, what kind of health care will be provided to you, what you can pay your employees and all the other fun things the party in power has in store for us. It’s just a hoax that will make people feel guilty enough to support the cap and tax bill. You think it’s tough to make a living now, just pray that these bills on the table don’t get through. If you want to turn off a light bulb or two in your house, go for it, save some money. I do it for that reason. Just remember that turning them on keeps people employed.    81GL 500 When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. Hunter S. Thompson    Report

Or did they just think "It's in Canada. They have snow all year."?

Like I said in my earlier post, we are contributing to global warming, however much you believe we actually contribute to it. Has the earth gone though massive climate changes over the eons? Of course it has, right down to discovering that Antarctica had quite the warm climate some time ago. The point is that outside of the occasional meteor or a helluva bunch of volcanic eruptions, the changes that the earth has gone through have taken by our perspective an incredibly long time.The climate at this time is changing on a massive scale at a very rapid rate. Can't say I remember the last time glaciers were disappearing with the core samples dating 100,000 years ago and at this time in the Pacific Northwest, we are getting green colored water year round due to the glacier melt and the unique minerals that wash away in the rivers. Unfounded in science? You must be depending on the same 'scientists' that said that there is no danger whatsoever in smoking cigarettes or asbestos. I cannot see any harm in getting the hell away from fossil fuels when we are still at a war that made a relative of mine handicapped for life and his father commit suicide.

Any scientist who hasn't jumped on the funding bandwagon will tell you that there just isn't enough information to form an opinion, let alone a theory. But as I have asked several times in this thread: If climate change on Earth is caused by pollution, why does the NASA date indicate that the temperature of Mars increases & decreases in step with the temperature of Earth? How can pollution on Earth have any effect on Mars? Answer: The temperature changes are also in step with levels of solar activity. When there are more solar flares the sun produces more heat and the planets warm up. All of them.
